At our Seniors Real Estate Solutions Program, we are here to help!

Downsizing & Rightsizing:

All members of the Seniors Real Estate Solutions care-team are skilled and experienced. 

​The emotional and physical challenges of downsizing appropriately for the next destination are taken with great regard.

You can tell us what you want to do with your items. We also have suggestions/solutions for the “things” that are no longer serving you.

 

Monetizing valuables, finding meaningful homes for donations, and simply removing the rubbish. Just because something no longer serves you, does not mean it cannot serve another.

Moving, Pack & Unpack:

Seniors Real Estate Solutions care-team is committed to getting the job done, especially when it comes to our three high-demand services into one. You can count on us to do EVERYTHING!

​We encourage you to take a deep breath, walk away if you wish and meet us at your new place. When you arrive at your new place, we will have your bed ready for you to kick your feet up and tell us what pictures you would like to be hung on which wall.

 

Your job is to get great pleasure of having the care-team bring life to your new space without you having to do any labour or feel any stress.

​We believe seniors and their families deserve the same high-quality service and attention as is provided to executives.

Realtor Ready Clean, List & Sell:

Since its founding, SRES’s® have been one of the most trusted representatives. We are held at the highest level of conduct and ethics within our profession.

​Not all Realtors® are created equally. Most agents have little idea how to undertake elderly senior transitions. A mistake can be very costly and traumatic, and for that reason any senior looking to sell their home should consult with one of our SRES's®.

Our SRES’s® facilitate complex timeline coordination and task execution to streamline the process efficiently and ensuring you receive top market price for your home. We further maintain a network of other senior-focused professionals who create our care-teams for a successful transition.

Many elderly seniors are often living on a fixed income, therefore, the equity in their home becomes an integral part of their overall financial plan. This involves selling the home for the most money, in the shortest time and with the least amount of inconvenience.

 

Hard signing vs digital technology is unquestionably considered, including home visit lawyer signing for closing, along with a Realtor® ready move-out clean.

Life Transitions and Senior Real Estate Needs in Greater Vancouver

 

 

Selling your home and transitioning to a new living situation is a major decision, often prompted by significant life changes. For seniors, these transitions can be particularly complex and emotionally charged. Whether you're facing:

  • Retirement: The transition to retirement often brings lifestyle changes and financial considerations that may necessitate downsizing or relocating to a more suitable home.

  • Health Changes: As we age, health challenges may arise, requiring modifications to your current home or a move to a supportive living environment that can provide assistance with daily tasks.

  • Family Dynamics: Changes in family dynamics, such as the need to be closer to children or grandchildren for support or caregiving, can also prompt a move.

  • Loss of a Spouse: The loss of a spouse can be a deeply emotional time, and the family home may feel too large or overwhelming to manage alone. Downsizing or relocating can offer a fresh start and a more manageable living situation.

  • Financial Concerns: Unexpected expenses, rising property taxes, or the desire to unlock home equity for retirement can lead seniors to consider selling their homes and exploring more affordable housing options.

  • Maintenance and Upkeep: Maintaining a larger home can become physically demanding as we age. Downsizing or moving to a community with maintenance services can alleviate this burden and provide more freedom and flexibility.

These are just a few of the life events that can intersect with senior real estate needs. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), I'm here to provide compassionate guidance and expert advice as you navigate these transitions, ensuring you find the best solution for your unique circumstances.

Balancing work and coaching left me with little spare time. Fortunately, Erin found the perfect place for me in Richmond. She made sure each option aligned with my criteria and organized everything to fit my busy schedule. I fell in love with the second place I viewed! She truly made it happen. I am thoroughly enjoying my new home, where I feel safe and comfortable. I love cooking in my kitchen!! Erin guided me through all the steps and paperwork, giving me confidence in my decision.
